Chapter 230 Hot Bar: You Want to Tear Each Other Apart?

In the hotel room, Reba lay on the sofa, grinning as he held his phone.

"I've finished discussing work and am on my way back, but there's a bit of traffic, so I'll probably be back a little later."

Looking at the message Chen Xiu sent, Reba edited a message, thought about it, deleted it, and rewrote a short one.

"Brother Xiu, I'll wait for you to come back."

"okay."

Having received a response, Reba held her phone to her chest contentedly and didn't bother Chen Xiu any further.

After lying down for a while, she thought to herself: Director Kong said that "Nirvana in Fire 11" will not start filming until the end of next month. It's the end of November now, so there's still a month in between. I don't have anything else to do, so I can stay on set and accompany Brother Xiu while he's filming...
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~~"

The sudden doorbell rang, interrupting Reba's reverie and making her shudder.

Reba glanced around shyly, and only after realizing that she was in a room and no one would know what she was thinking did she furrow her brows and turn down her lips.

She got up and quickly went to the door. Just as Reba's hand touched the doorknob, she immediately pulled it back and leaned over to look through the peephole at the outside.

When Dilraba saw Nezha, wearing a hat and mask, standing outside the door looking around furtively, her displeasure was instantly replaced by a sly smile.

Upon opening the door, Dilraba, in full acting mode, first stared in surprise, then frowned in confusion: "Why are you here?"

"I need to talk to you about something. Can I come in?"

"It's inconvenient."

"We're both women, what's inconvenient about that?"

Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Reba then turned to the side, letting Na enter the room.

With her back to Nezha, Reba closed the door, curled the corners of her lips into a smile, and then immediately pretended to be puzzled and turned around.

"What's up? Tell me! I had other plans for tonight, and I was just about to go to bed when you arrived."

"Are your plans for tonight related to Chen Xiu?"

The pretentious Dilraba was caught off guard by Naza's direct attack, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

She looked at this silly beauty with surprise, and wanted to ask: Don't you know the tricks? Why do you ask people this kind of question right away?
Perhaps sensing the change in atmosphere, Nezha blinked helplessly and continued, "What I mean is, do you and Chen Xiu have that kind of relationship?"

"..."

"It's that kind of relationship where you like him and he likes you, but it's not a romantic one..."

Are you here to cause trouble?

Reba finally couldn't listen anymore. She realized that her cleverness was completely useless against Naza's direct approach.

Because the silly beauty doesn't mince words at all; she goes straight to the point, leaving no room for escape.

Seeing Reba's face suddenly turn cold and her tone become stiff, Nezha seemed to realize that her way of asking the question was inappropriate.

"No, I just want to ask when you and Chen Xiu started dating, and how you maintained this relationship. You should know the meaning of Meng Ziyi, right?"

"Sigh~~"

Reba took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and glared at Nezha.

"You really are here to cause trouble!"

"I'm not……"

"What's my relationship with my boss, and what's it to you? What's his relationship with Meng Ziyi, and what's it to you? What's your relationship with me, and what right do you have to interfere in my affairs?"

A rapid-fire rap completely stunned Nezha.

She stared blankly at Reba, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes, as if trying to unravel the logical chain between Reba's three questions.

After a moment, Nezha, still unable to figure it out, stopped challenging herself in an area she wasn't good at. She hadn't come here today to debate with Reba or to act as a moral exemplar.

"Um, I don't mean to interfere in your relationship with Chen Xiu, I just want to ask if you and him have that kind of relationship?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"I'm pursuing Chen Xiu..."

"Did you come to me just to start a fight?"

Dilraba started using Nezha's way of speaking and also began to speak directly.

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Nezha waved his hands repeatedly, then glanced at the phone that Reba was holding tightly in her hand, and a flash of inspiration finally appeared in his blank mind.

"Oh~~, you already knew about my relationship with Chen Xiu when you chatted with me last time, so that's why you asked me to send you some memes, right?"

"Humph! So what?"

"Delete those emojis for me."

"You sent it to me, so it's mine. Why should I delete it?"

At this point, Reba's previously tense face suddenly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth slowly began to curve upwards.

Nezha, who was just thinking about how to erase her "dark history," felt a sudden pang of panic when she saw her expression.

"What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking, should I share your emojis with other people? What do you think about letting Brother Xiu see them?"

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

"Ha, the more you act like this, the more I want to show those photos to Brother Xiu... What are you doing!"

Seeing Nezha suddenly rushing towards her, Reba was about to dodge when she realized that Nezha was trying to snatch her phone. She immediately handed the phone to her other hand and told her to stay away from Nezha.

The surprise attack failed, and Nezha glared angrily at Reba: "You promised me you wouldn't show your memes to other people." "I also said I like to lie! Ugh!"

Before she knew it, Reba's hair was grabbed by Na Zhi.

The sudden pain left her no time to pay attention to her phone, and she was snatched away by Nazai.

Having obtained what she wanted, Nezha was about to step back and create some distance when she discovered an angry face lunging at her. In a panic, Nezha could only raise her hands to protect her face.

A loud bang was followed by a scream of pain.

Naza felt the world spin around her in an instant, and she was lying on the ground, looking up at the ceiling in panic, and at the heat bar that was suppressing her.

Looking down at the frail and helpless Nezha, Reba wondered: Should I just beat her up? No, if things escalate, Xiu-ge will have to clean up the mess. It's one thing if he's angry with me, but I'm afraid that even if Xiu-ge doesn't say it, he'll secretly blame me and feel guilty towards Nezha. No, no, I can't let the enemy get away with this.

Thinking of this, Reba suppressed her anger at being provoked and said, "Give me back my phone."

"You can have my photos, but you can't show them to anyone else, especially not to Chen Xiu!"

"I was just joking with you. I always keep my promises."

"Are you joking or serious when you say that?"

Reba was taken aback, as if she hadn't expected that Nazha's brain could work so quickly.

"I'm serious, very serious, okay?"

Having exhausted all other options, Nezha relaxed upon hearing her words.

"Then let me get up first."

Give me your phone first!

"No, I can only give you my phone after I get up."

"If I ask you to get up, and you don't give me your phone, I won't be able to knock you down again!"

Nezha thought about it and realized that it made sense, but if he handed over the phone and Reba refused to let go of him, it seemed even more dangerous.

Seeing that she remained silent but still gripped her phone tightly, Reba felt annoyed and thought: I can't keep suppressing her like this until Chen Xiu comes back, can I?
"Have it!"

Nezha suddenly looked up: "What's wrong?"

"Give me your phone, and I'll each hold one side. I'll lean back and take the phone, then you can get up too, okay?"

"That's a good idea. How did you come up with it?"

"Hmph! You should read more books instead."

Reba turned her head away arrogantly, but secretly she was pleased with herself for thinking that her brain was indeed getting better after reading "Zizhi Tongjian" with Chen Xiu.

After agreeing on the handover method, Nazar also raised his phone, handed one end to Reba, and held the other end tightly with both hands.

Reba gripped her phone tightly, glanced at Nezha, and said, "Get ready. I'll count to 3, then you let go. 3!"

"Eh?"

While Nezha was still lying on the ground in a daze, Reba had already grabbed the phone and leaned back against the wall of the room.

After a while, Nezha, realizing what had happened, sat up and stared at Reba, saying, "You lied to me again!"

“I said to count to 3, not to count from 1 to 3. You got up, and I got my phone. Isn’t this the result we agreed on?”

"You learned this kind of sophistry from Chen Xiu, didn't you!"

"Ok?"

Reba suddenly stopped and looked at Nezha with a puzzled expression.

Nezha just sat on the ground without getting up, and found a spot to sit opposite Reba and lean against it.

“I talked to Chen Xiu when we were freshmen, you must already know that. If it weren’t for that reason, you would never have contacted me.”

"..."

Reba didn't say anything, but her expression betrayed her agreement.

Nezha leaned against the wall, a complex look of reminiscence in his eyes, a mixture of regret, remorse, and sweetness.

“When I was dating Chen Xiu, he had just started his own business and was working on things that I couldn’t understand. I felt that he didn’t really understand them either, but he was willing to spend time learning and he quickly figured them out.”

“When he wasn’t working, he always liked to read those boring history books, and I would lie on his lap and quietly watch him. Looking back now, I don’t really understand what he was interested in.”

Hearing this, Dilraba couldn't help but interject, "Wouldn't it be better if you broke up? Why did you try to get back together?"

Nezha turned his head and looked at Reba with clear eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

“We learned almost the same things in elementary school, and even went to the same high school. I don’t understand that history, and you wouldn’t understand it either, but what you just said is somewhat similar to what Chen Xiu said. You must have specifically studied his interests, right?”

"so what?"

"If you can learn it, so can I!"

The alarm went off loudly, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Nezha.

This reaction made Nezha chuckle, then he slowly got up and stopped worrying about Reba's phone problem.

"I'm leaving now. I won't tell anyone about your situation."

"It's no use even if you say it."

"Well, that's why I won't say."

Reba stared gloomily at Naza as he left the room. He felt that although he had won the confrontation, his opponent seemed to have found a way to win as well... Troublesome!
